I am very depressed but also very angry

20. She absolutely DOES see herself as better than them. She sees them as losers.

It's why I have a very difficult time connecting on an emotional level as a friend with staunch conservatives.

Their worldview inherently divides people into winners/losers. They have their "betters". It is thoroughly distasteful.

Of course, just knowing that someone has such an over-inflated ego concerning their own greatness is a massive turnoff.

Those that identify as conservative certainly see themselves as being in the "better than" group. This necessarily means that there are many others that they look down upon. For whatever reason from a myriad of reasons that conservatives allow for us to be divided as a society.

In short, we wouldn't be divided if it weren't for the small minds of conservatives. TPTB simply would not be able to divide us.

The left preaches solidarity and compassion. The right preaches winners/losers, and the losers deserve what they get no matter how horrible, unnecessary and unjust that might be.

I just can't deal with people like that very well. At all.
